The Reviews Are In!
The $28 French dip is big enough to feed two people with big appetites. It delivers miraculous mouth feel along with rich, multi-tiered flavor. The fine-cut beef is dipped in jus before being layered with provolone cheese, caramelized onions and an aioli flavored with horseradish, chives and roasted garlic. It emerges from the oven warm, moist and begging to be devoured. – Steve Cuozzo, NY Post
If you’re on the hunt for the hottest sandwich in town, look no further than the West Village, where Salt Hank’s is dishing out the city’s most talked-about French dip. – Justine Golata Secret NYC
I am so hungry. And so proud!
Salt Hank’s is officially OPEN!

The Future is Now
The future creeps up on little cat feet. As I was updating the firmware in my front door lock I realized, I don’t carry keys any more. I open my front door with my fingerprint. My car starts with my phone. The only key I need is for my old timey post office box, and I’m sure that will be replaced soon.
All is takes is 3.5% of a population engaging in peaceful protest to hold back authoritarian movements.
See you tomorrow.
Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish
Today is the 20th Anniversary of Steve Jobs’s speech to the Stanford Graduating Class of 2005. He distilled a lifetime’s worth of insight into 15 minutes. It’s brilliant. Better yet, it’s deeply true. Take a moment to watch it today - it’s so worth it.
I’m really excited that Apple is finally giving iPad its due. Our WWDC recap is live:
So long and thanks for all the RoundRects
I was so sad to hear of Bill Atkinson’s passing. He was one of the original Macintosh team members, creator of Quickdraw, MacPaint, HyperCard, inventor of the RoundRect, and so much of what makes personal computing enjoyable today.
Most of all, he was a friend. I spent many hours interviewing him. You can find the shows at the TWIT website. He was a deep, warm, and talented human and I will miss him.
So long, Bill, and thanks for all the RoundRects.

Test posting this from Obsidian…
You don’t build strength by avoiding discomfort. You build it by seeking it.
It worked. Using the Micro.publish plugin by Otavio Cordeiro.
I use Obsidian, BTW.

Bucket List ✔️
Over 25 years ago a producer on “The Screen Savers” came to me and said “Do you know a Dick DeBartolo?”
“Uh,” I eloquently replied, “THE Dick DeBartolo, MAD Magazine’s maddest writer? Yeah! Why?”
“He wants to be on the show.”
Thus began a quarter-century love fest with one of my childhood heroes. And a chance to be immortalized in the magazine that taught me everything I know about modern culture. Well, the culture of the 60’s, anyway.
From the upcoming MAD Magazine #42…(It’s a best-of so I guess it’s “bucket list ✔️ed again.”)
If only we had made band-aids with pictures of pets on them!
Dick still does his show every week with Chad Johnson over at GizWiz.tv (now over 2000 of them!) and will join me for a special reunion episode Friday 5/23 at 4PM Eastern. I’ll break out all the old GizWiz jingles.
And, of course, every TWiT episode is still available from the archives at twit.tv/dgw. Good times!
